AM/FM/CD stereo, oxygen ionizer, soft touch control panels, tempered
glass, and much more! A full list of the features and options
can be found here.
Ceramic V Carbon Fiber Heaters
Why buy Carbon Fiber?- Low Surface Temperature. Lower surface temperature allows the infrared waves to penetrate tissue more thoroughly, and the carbon fiber heaters heat the interior of the sauna more evenly.
- No Wires Heater. Ultra-conductive carbon fiber heater with silver strips are more efficient and longer lasting than their ceramic counterparts. Carbon fiber heaters have a life of about 15 years, ceramic heaters have a 10 year life. Additionally, the ceramic heater has a wire inside that gets very hot. If used continuously for multiple sessions, the wire may burn out. This is a non-issue with the carbon fiber heater.
- Surround Heating. 360° surround heating allows for a complete infrared sauna session.
- Organic Carbon. The human body is made of carbon and water so the infrared spectrum from the carbon fiber heater is more easily absorbed.
- Additional safety. Each carbon fiber heater is controlled by it's own thermostat. If it gets too hot, it simply shuts that heater off. The ceramic saunas are controlled by one thermostat for the entire unit.

As an example the 250 watt ceramic heater has approximately 16.5 square heating inches. |
The same wattage carbon fiber (right) has 520 square inches or 31x as much heating surface. |
When at full temp in heating mode, the ceramic runs about 388 degrees F, the carbon fiber only 156 degrees F, therefore the carbon fiber is more comfortable and uniform heating.
Here is a photo comparison of the ceramic rod (the white rod at the top), versus a carbon fiber panel (bottom). As you can see, the carbon fiber panel has a much greater surface area.
More surface area means less heat, but better infrared penetration.
